Safe Mind

Safe Mind — the collaborative project of Augustus Muller and Cooper B. Handy — release their debut single “6ʼ Pole” and announce an October (2024) tour.

Muller is one half of the beloved electronic duo BOY HARSHER , a cornerstone in the contemporary goth and darkwave scene. Handy is an underground sensation, making a name for himself with his le� field approach to beatmaking through his solo persona LUCY and various recording projects (The Taxidermist, Club Casualties). Featuring club-ready bass, punchy drum beats, and post-punk guitar lines alongside Handyʼs singular voice, “6ʼ Pole” introduces us to the duoʼs playful pop sound.

In 2020, Muller approached Handy to collaborate on a track for Boy Harsher's album, The Runner (Original Soundtrack), and the result was the anthemic album standout “Autonomy.” Handy's loose take on songwriting proved an unlikely match with Muller's neurotic attention to detail and production experience. Handy and Muller took note of their chemistry and continued to casually work on music over the next few years. As the tracks started to accumulate, they acknowledged a shared emphasis on honesty and innocence in the songs they were making and Safe Mind was born.
